MY GROUP
My group did Jason’s story Colchis which is the island where
he retrieves the Golden Fleece. We opened are part with a long hallway which
will have king Aietes at his throne in the centre, his children Medea and her
brother with two guards, Jason then enters with the Argonauts and asks for the
Golden fleece. There is a clear power struggle as we have the guards and
Argonauts ready for a fight, they all suddenly freeze and see Eros son of
Aphrodite make Medea fall in love with Jason. Medea tells her farther to give
them a chance. We leave this hallway scene and have the king sit side on to the
next part in his throne. Jason has to do 3 trials to receive the fleece so for
the trials we came up with the idea of doing them as a shadow where it shows
what Jason faces and how Medea helps him overcome it. This is all we did for
are piece as we had a short part of the story but I feel I did well as the
whole shadow section is really creative and feel there’s a lot we can do with
it.
1st
GROUP
This group had the opening of Jason and the Argonauts where
we have Jason’s farther on his throne and his servants around him. They then
had Pelias come in to the scene and throw Jason’s farther across the stage to
show him losing his power to Pelias. This is followed by Jason and his mom
sneaking out while Pelias kills all of their follows. There next bit is where
Jason helps the old lady across the river, for this they said they would like
to do a movement piece where we see Jason battle the river and help her across,
this hadn’t been choreographed yet but I was excited as I feel like it is a
good idea for this scene. There last part was Pelias banquet which Jason
crashes, for this they had Pelias in the centre and a load of people having a
good time until Jason enters with one sandal on in which everyone laughs except
Pelias as he know who’s this is. I liked this group’s work as they got a lot
done for the opening and showed a lot of creative styles for the opening. I
like the ideas they had for their movement piece where we create the river as I
feel this will help get audiences attentions.
2nd
GROUP
This
group had Jason’s arrival at cyzicus which was the land inhabited by 6 armed
giants. They had ideas for creating them by having one person on another’s back
and another wrapped around them so there was a big creature with 6 arms we
tried this and I liked how it looked but the only down side is that we would
very little of these 6 armed giants on at once.
They opened there part with us rowing a big boat in a synchronised
patterned , we reach the island in which we are greeted by the king who they
created to be very flamboyant as they thought it would be good to get some
humour in the play which I agreed with as it helps keep things interesting. I
liked the ideas of the 6 armed giants as this is a nice thing but to make it
better I feel we need to it in shadow so the 3 people can become 1 creature to
fight and we can also play with levels to make them bigger and the Argonauts
smaller. I also liked there flamboyant king as it’s a nice twist to the story
that makes it are known and also will entertain the audience as it will be
comedic
